Should I take a test?
by WildWilldow2, Sep 27, 2009 01:06PM
Okay, so here is my dilemma. I can vaguely remember my last period was around July 30th. I know I have had sex on August 10, and 11th. and September around the 10th and 11th also....I have missed both period that month and today it is september27 and still no period. I have had horrible breakout the last 2 weeks but it is begining to clear up and as far as other symptoms i have been really hungry at times and most frequently in between meals. As far as weigh gain im as skinny as a board still and after i eat i bloat bad but otherwise no sign of being pregnant, should I take a test....has anyone else been in my shoes?

Hi!
I can not think of a good reason NOT to take a pregnancy test. If you usually have monthly cycles and they have recently stopped, the MOST common reason is pregnancy. You may be as far along as 12 weeks, and really should be thinking about prenatal care! Many doctors offices or clinics offer free pregnancy tests. You might want to call around and save yourself a few dollars. TAKE A TEST!
Good luck!
